Even though it was a strictly "non-pro" situation, I did have
an interesting response to my "honkin' Big Black" SuperProgram,
winder, SMCK 45-125 f4 w/ hood from my 85mm f1.9 Spertak & wierd
old SunPak 4-AA flash unit last nite. Since today is Friday ....
I was down at the Cafe Mundo (an outdoor garden bistro here) and,
well after dark, after spending a pleasant hour or so w/ some
fair maidens eating chocolate ganache & gulping espresso around
the fire, they "warmed up" to a few impromptu "girls' nite out"
photos. I still had some 800 Fuji in the camera, so it was an
f22 @ ~12ft no-brainer ;^) Anyway, I was at my 12ft spot and
after viewing horizontal I decided to switch to vertical. The funny
part is that after I got back to the table, they were all three
giggling about how when I rotated the rig to vertical - as one,
they all leaned their heads over to follow the camera! Totally
unconsciously and separately each one of them thought that that's
what they *should* do! I could see little more than silhouettes to
frame by, but f22 w/ 45mm makes precision focus a bit anal, anyway.
Film's at the processor as I type - should be some interesting ones.
Har! ... just another example of the "Professional Camera" aura
of the classic Pentax SuperProgram 35mm Camera System!
